The good parts about this business: - good food - great atmosphere - really friendly cashiers and employees - Great salsa bar. - Great drink selection and desserts The bad parts about the business - Food is very expensive for what your getting (Over 2 dollars for a small taco for example) - take out is extremely slow and will take 10-20 minutes on average - same price as many traditional sit-down restaurants but the quality is much lower My consensus: - poor want-to-be sit-down restaurant - overpriced fastfood, but certainly more authentic and better than a Chipotle like restaurant.

Sadly, this location fits into the trend of the NW not having great hispanic food. The rice was decent, but the beans were unremarkable. The salsa bar didnt interest me at all, and I generally like salsa, and trying new salsas out. My enchiladas were good, but not outstanding. I doubt Ill be going back, but Im not unhappy that I did go. Location seems decent. The tables were clean and the staff seemed attentive to the dinning area. Extra points becuase this location is open late (midnight as of this writing), but demerits because there is nothing vegetarian on the menu. They do serve Mexican coke.

Ive tried and tried millions of other mexican food restaurant. I didnt have high expectation for this place. But let me tell you... They got my business from now on! First restaurant that served me real mexican food. This place doesnt look like much from outside but inside, the staff is super friendly, they actually speak spanish and they actually have a mexican in the kitchen cooking the food. Tortillas hand made. Its like what your grandma cooks when you come over with the grandkids. Comfort food. We couldnt that the staff enough for offering real authentic mexican food.

the food is horrible I ordered a pozole and took 20-minute bring him and had only corn and nothing meat. and this is not the first time passing this problem. they claim and chef bad way said that if served. and I dont think that, we serve if your known or to the same, the place is always very dirty trash everywhere. rather go back to come to this place. and this is not Mexican food that is garbage.

I am reviewing the REDMOND location ONLY, as I have not been to their other locations. They have many locations. I have been here about 10 times and it is consistently good. Really good. Great prices, clean restaurant and friendly staff. I wish they had more vegetarian options. But, the food they put out is authentic mexican street food. Love this place.

All of my visits have been enjoyable. The staff is friendly, the food is wonderful, portions are appropriate, and theres relatively little wait. On top of that, its always a good thing when theres a sweet elderly lady making tortillas in plain sight all day. Options range from hardcore tex-mex to authentic - it depends on what youre in the mood for.

Todas las botellas de salsa tapatío en cada mesa estaban sin su tapadera. Permitiendo la entrada de radicales libres a su contenido. No muy higiénico.

I was born and raised in California. This is some of the best Mexican food I have had outside of CA. The salsa bar was fully stocked - hot carrots, limes, spicy salsa, radishes, etc. The burrito/taco on its own is pretty bland, but excellent once you add all the stuff from the salsa bar.

This place has the best food for the best pricing youll find anywhere. I was spoiled with many great meals here and have yet to find another place with such great food and service. If you want the best Mexican food in town, stop by El RInconsito you will not be disappointed.

Not great, they kind of skimp and cut corners, had one stem of cilantro on my taco, chicken mole was mostly mushrooms and onions, bathrooms were dirty and out of soap, video screen menu had tiny print, I could barely read it not sure how someone over 40 could decipher it!

No lie, they have a few of these around. The most common one I go to is in Kent, but I do come here when I happen to be working in Bellevue for the day. BEST TACOS EVER!! BEST everything ever.....and the salsa....you just need to go and experience this for yourself!!

The food is amazing and is the best price you can have without diminishing the quality of the food. I really like that they are open late and the customer service is one of my favorite. Personally, I love the Pollo Asada, its a huge portion for a great price! Try it!

Got fish tacos with a drink. Place was packed and was barely able to find a seat. I go here pretty regularly but Ive never seen it this busy. Literally the people that were seated there prior had their plates still on the tables. But ate good food. Would go again.

Great food, fast service. I got the chichen Enchiflauta and I ate the whole thing in minutes. It was worth every penny. Their tacos are a little dry but their meat, especially the carne asada is really good. A little pricey but good for the portions they make.

Good food, hours are incorrect. Im from San Diego so I was happy to find a small whole in the wall that serves authentic Mexican. I go here a lot but I showed up on a Monday at 11pm and they were closed even though hours on their website say 1am on Monday.

Had the chipolte burrito. I just want to drink the sauce!! Delicious!!! My daughter and spouse had the burrito plate which was equally as good. We moved to the area 6 years ago from California and finally found a REAL Mexican restaurant!

Pitiful portions, tables are never wiped down, lots of lard. Over the last few years this place has gotten worse and worse. After eating there today I have decided to never come back. Absolutely disgusting. Worst customer service ever.

I frequent this place regularly with my boyfriend and we both love it. Prices are great, food is great as well! They are always friendly and can get busy at times. Every time I have gone I have been happy. Definitely recommend.

Went here on a recommendation from a friend and it was way better than I expected. Looks like a fast food sit down restaurant but the food was so tasty and a great value. No wonder the place was packed.

For cheap delicious Mexican food, this is the place to go! Its the real deal here. Everything is fresh cooked. Service is quick and polite workers. Great place to go for a cheap late night snack!

Not your traditional Amer-mex place, this taqueria has a wide range of choices outside the usual burrito/taco/beans/rice fare. Its low-key so dont expect a tablecloth, but you will enjoy your meal.

One of the best Mexican restaurants in Bellevue! You know its good when everyone speaks Spanish including the customers. You cant go wrong with anything on the menu. And its all at a good price.
